	Tenacious D	comment	Tenacious D (subtitled "The Greatest Band On Earth") is a TV series that ran on HBO in 1997 for three episodes. Each episode was made up of Two Shorts, all chronicling the (fictional) trials and tribulations of Tenacious D, a burgeoning acoustic Heavy Metal band made up of Jack Black (lead vocals, rhythm guitar) and Kyle Gass (lead guitar). They regularly make appearances at the local open mic night to play their Power Metal-inspired tales of riding with kings, smoking weed, battling demons and butt sex, to an inevitably apathetic crowd, and Paul, the nonplussed host (played by Paul F. Tompkins).Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })A falling out with HBO ended the series pretty quickly, but luckily, the episodes that did see the light of day got a lot of attention from fans, ranging from fans of alternative comedy to some showbiz friends - for instance, Dave Grohl wound up playing drums for them on their debut album. As well, they quickly secured spots opening for Beck, Pearl Jam, the Foo Fighters and tool. The original show, as you can imagine, has become something of a Cult Classic, and perhaps even ahead of its time.Speaking of their debut album, a good amount of songs found on this show wormed their way into said album, such as "Kielbasa," "Kyle Quit The Band," "Sex Supreme" (aka "Double Team"), "You Broke The Rules" (aka "Karate"), "Explosivo," "Lee," "The Road," and even their Signature Song, "Tribute." Meanwhile, "Jesus Ranch" and "Cosmic Shame" turned up as B-Sides and live versions respectively, and "History" was rerecorded for "The Pick Of Destiny".Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })"It's not just a list of tropes we've done in the past, but it's also a chronicling, of our rise... TO POWER!!!"
